Filming tips, on a screenplay, ANGLES, LIGHTING, ECT...? Hey! I am in 10th grade and currently writing, directing, and producing a short film. It will range between 25-30 minutes. I have the script completed and am looking forward to filming this baby, but need some help. I want this thing to look as professional as I can make it. I have some video editing software, it isn't Final Cut Pro, but it gets special effects and the like done. I was wondering if anyone had any sites or tips that they would advise me to follow when filming this. I've already looked around on the internet and read a lot of good advice I wouldn't have thought of, such as using external mics, headphones in the camcorder, and 3 pt lighting. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this filiming. Any advice for this thing would be appreciated. The script, I think, came out great. I've gotten some advice from friends, and I reworked it so it's a real thriller. There will be a foot chase/ car chase
